rules to keep her safe.Trust no one. Relationships are weaknesses. Emotional attachments are dangerous. Be responsible only for yourself.But when Kendra witnesses a classmate in trouble, she intervenes and her decision to break the rules comes at a price.Sometimes, humans could be more dangerous than demons.Ondine is a short prequel novella for the young adult urban / paranormal fantasy series, the Ondine Quartet.

I’m a fantasy writer who lives a slightly eccentric life with
my accommodating husband and our charming, neurotic dog. I'm currently
working on the Ondine Quartet, a young adult urban fantasy/paranormal
series featuring a kick-ass heroine, powerful magic, and the complex
world of water elementals.

I have a weird love of spreadsheets
and organizational tools because they give me the illusion that I am
somehow in control of the chaos that is my life. I adore beautiful art
such as painting and sculpture, classical music, lyrical writing, and
great graphic design. My all-time favorite books (as of this writing)
are Immortality by Milan Kundera, 100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel
Garcia Marquez, Beloved by Toni Morrison, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott
Fitzgerald, and The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka.
